Prince George will play a crucial part in the coronation – Buckingham Palace

It has been reported that Prince George will have a significant role in his grandfather’s coronation.

On May 6, a ceremony at Westminster Abbey will see King Charles crowned.

The significance of Prince George’s participation in the occasion has already been verified by Buckingham Palace.

One of eight all-male Pages of Honor during the coronation will be the nine-year-old.

He’ll be responsible for holding the King and Queen Consort’s robes throughout the ceremony, which should last about 2.5 hours.

George, second in direct line to the throne, could see himself crowed at Westminster Abbey in the future.

Camilla’s grandsons Gus and Louis Lopes, both 13, and Freddy Parker Bowles, 12 are expected to carry out the Pages of Honour role.

Her great-nephew Arthur Elliot, 11, will also join the group.

For the King, his Pages of Honour include Prince George, Lord Oliver Cholmondeley, 13, Nicholas Barclay, 13, Ralph Tollemache, 12, and Charles’s godson Edward.

The coronation is drawing closer and closer, with more plans being unveiled for the weekend of celebrations.

Question marks remain on whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will attend in any capacity.

Last night, it was announced that Camilla will be known as ‘the Queen’ with the ‘Consort’ title dropped from May 6.

The King acceded the throne on September 8, 2022, upon the death of his mother – but it is traditional for a full ceremony to be held a significant time later as a mark of respect to the late monarch.

Prince Louis, Prince George and Princess Charlotte will also feature in the new monarch’s coronation procession on May 6.

The three children will sit in a carriage behind the King and Queen Consort with their parents the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Other royals expected in the procession out Westminster Abbey will be Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and his sister Princess Alexandra.

Both George, 9 and Charlotte, 7, both accompanied the royal family during the Queen’s funeral procession but Louis, 4, was considered too young at the time.

The children delighted royal fans at the Queen’s platinum jubilee as Louis showcased his cheeky side.

On the palace balcony alongside his siblings he could be seen holding his hands over his ears and pulling many facial expressions.

Louis also shared a sweet moment with Charles as he sat on his lap during the Jubilee Pageant as the parade passed by the royal box.
